A review by haleyandherbooks
The Puppetmaster's Apprentice by Lisa Deselm

This is a gender flipped re-imagination of Pinnochio and I am here for it!
The writing is so lovely, almost lyrical. I absolutely loved Pirouette's connection to the trees and the whole idea behind giving the wood new life. The magic system was so unique and just - uhhhhh beautiful. I loved the sense of community between the makers in the village.
I thoroughly enjoyed my read through and the magical way DeSelm gave this story new life.
